  • Yes and no. Germany did not give citizenship to any Holocaust surviver, but it did restore citizenship to former German citizens pretty much as soon as the allies took control and it ended up being part of the Basic Law in 1949 as well. Otherwise Jews were supposed to be treated as citizens of their respective countries. So Soviet Jews were supposed to be treated as aliens, since they were Soviet citizens.

    They could have gone back to their country of origin and some did, but Israel seemed like a better option compared to destroyed Europe.


  • It is partly guilt from the Holocaust, as in Germany is a big part of the reason Israel exists. So this entire Israel antisemitism plays very different in Germany. Also Scholz Ukraine response was weak and he got a lot of bad press for it, so he tried to go hard pro Israel. At the same time new export permits have not been issued for months, as there is a refusal to deliver any weapons, which could be used for war crimes, while being the largest donor to Palestine.

    So a weird situation. The US going hard on Israel would help a lot though, to clean that up.


  • Unemployment rate is at 6%. In 2019 it was at 5%. So no people are not loosing their jobs nor fear unemployment. At least not for a good reason, but right wing propaganda.

    Also the AFD would have to get into government, which if they do not manage it in the recently elected state parliaments, they will not do that on a federal level. That means the CDU will either have a coaltion with the SPD or the Greens. Both probably protecting most enviromental laws.
